is this the beginning of when Jeff Baxter joined the band?


per Allmusic:

Keith Knudsen replaced Hossack as the group's second drummer for 1974's What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits, which launched their first number one single, "Black Water," and featured heavy contributions from former Steely Dan member Jeff "Skunk" Baxter. Jeff "Skunk" Baxter officially joined the Doobie Brothers for 1975's Stampede.

JT's "Mexico" sounds pretty smooth.

VHM Average White Band, "Pick Up the Pieces" (and an excellent song to follow the fall of Saigon).



Great flashback song.  Where are my Levi Big Bells?

I can't imagine you in big bells now! :lol:
I used to have platforms and the goal was to have the big bells cover the shoes. It was a groovy outfit.


I was MUCH skinnier back then, rail thin.  My big bells were alway too long (32/36), so I was always trailing about a foot of frayed string behind me.  And, oh my god, I wore Wallabys.  Yikes.

a VHM for one of my favorite JT songs, not least because we are taking a week in Huatulco, departing exactly 1 month from today!

I'd give it an HM, but it's a proxy WOS for Gaz. "LA session musicians -- they're a helluva drug."

in addition to Jackie Blue, How Long was supposed to be about a band member leaving, not a love song.

Is that Dave's old boyfriend?  Or his still-boyfriend?

Dave giggled when he played the call back.
